About Reunion Resort - Watson Course

The Watson Course at Reunion Resort, designed by legendary golf icon Tom Watson, offers a challenging yet highly enjoyable experience for golfers of all skill levels. Opened in 2004, this 18-hole championship course is characterized by its traditional, parkland-style layout, featuring wide fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and large, undulating greens. Watson's design philosophy emphasizes strategic play, encouraging golfers to think their way around the course rather than simply overpowering it, a hallmark of his own playing style.

Set amidst the natural beauty of Central Florida, the course seamlessly integrates with its surroundings, utilizing existing wetlands and native vegetation to create both aesthetic appeal and strategic hazards. The layout demands precision and thoughtful shot-making, particularly on approach shots to the greens, which are often protected by bunkers and subtle contours. The course's excellent conditioning and meticulous upkeep ensure a premium playing surface year-round, making it a standout destination within the Reunion Resort's trio of signature courses.

Playing the Watson Course provides a true test of golf, where accuracy off the tee and a deft touch around the greens are generously rewarded. It's a course that invites repeat play, as its nuances reveal themselves with each round. The overall experience is one of classic golf design, offering a fair challenge and a memorable journey through a beautifully crafted landscape.
